Depending on your level of involvement in the New England Patriots' franchise, you may or may not have heard the Josh Allen-Drake Maye comparisons floating around last season. Specifically, the notion that Maye is a "young Josh Allen 2.0," as described by now-former Patriots DT Davon Godchaux, who played with Maye in his rookie campaign.
Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer also said similarly ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. "I found a comp that I like on Drake Maye. He is Josh Allen, just a step down in just about every category," Breer said at the time, speaking with NBC Sports Boston. "And I think that physically maybe puts him closer to the ballpark of where Joe Burrow is. But he's got Josh Allen play-making traits, he has pop in his arm. He’s a really, really, really good athlete. There’s a lot to work with there."
